Equipment or heat source failure was a leading cause of structure fires in industrial and manufacturing properties. Electrical distribution, lighting, and power transfer equipment was identified as the leading equipment involved in ignition in industrial properties, while shop tools was the leading equipment category involved in manufacturing property fires.
From 2017–2021, United States fire departments responded to an estimated annual average of 36,784 fires at industrial or manufacturing properties (including utility, defense, agriculture, and mining properties). The associated annual losses from these fires included 22 civilian deaths, 211 civilian injuries, and $1.5 billion in direct property damage.
Losses are preventable!
THIA’s customized fire suppression systems are at work prior to fire. The systems help to mitigate the risks within Industrial Machinery by interrupting the fire tetrahedron (Heat/Oxygen/Fuel/Chemical Chain Reaction) with the removal of heat. This suppresses the progression of thermal events with temperature reduction at critical timing. The devices are heat activated. Activation temperatures depend on conditional variables—it is a time related to temperature equation.
THIA is automatic and completely autonomous —no manual deployment needed, no canister, no power source—it does the job on its own. There is no risk of human error and often does the job before an operator is even aware of any threat. The systems are customized to suit the risk based on the dimensions and average ambient air temperature.
Proactive protection at the source of risk!
